Shoe show draws inspiration from Silk Road

The ancient Silk Road has inspired all kinds of art. Chinese luxury footwear brand Sheme recently presented a collection of women's shoes inspired by it, paying tribute to Chinese traditional culture.

The collection shown at Beijing Exhibition Center featured dozens of footwear that represent the 56 ethnic groups in China.

It highlighted three conceptual works that reflected the culture, landscape, handcraft and totems of the cities and countries along the Silk Road.
